I miss the visuals in threads like this, but maybe the only bits missing

I couldn't bear to watch much more than the first minute of "video in portrait mode" before I lost patience. TBH, I'm staggered that no one else thought to mention this aspect of the video. I took a look at the comments and had to scroll back a week's worth before finding this: Chris Davies 1 week ago Please do not ever film anything in vertical video ever again.я╗┐ Other than that single *useful* comment, the rest were basically self congratulatory "I totally agree with your conclusion" pointlessly **** comments. -- Johnny B Good |

Maybe that was early (before he knew better). Maybe he did not have his camera that day and had to use his phone (a rare event so he didn't realise it was filming wrong) Or maybe ... |

Usual ******** about if the lights fail you are going to fall down the stairs and will die.. There seems to be another large fuse holder with 2.5mm solid wire soldered across it, but somewhere internal, not near the incoming supply. Also fully exposed. It may be a standard thing (obviously to be used with a fuse in it) for feeding a cooker supply or something in olden times, but I haven't seen one before. -- Roger Hayter |
